This tasted just like I was biting into a caramel apple. You could taste the apples in the cupcake and it was perfectly moist. And the caramel on top was heaven. I mean seriously, don’t these look delicious!?

Things that I changed: Nothing

Things that I would do differently next time: How fun would this be to put your favorite toppings on top of these. Nuts, sprinkles, etc.

Preheat oven to 350o F. Line a cupcake pan with baking liners. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Grate your apples to ensure you’ll get apple with every bite of caramel. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar and granulated sugars until smooth. Whisk in the oil and vanilla. Stir into the flour mixture until just combined; stir in the apples.

Spoon the batter into the prepared pan until almost full. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.

In a small, microwavable bowl, combine the caramels and cream. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each one until caramel is melted and smooth. Dip cupcakes upside down into caramel and let cool.

I’m making these for my daughters fundraiser today. I am changing it u a little. What I plan on doing is chopping up apples mixing them with a little caramel. cut out the center fill it with the mixture then topping it off with a whipped caramel buttercreme frosting then drizzling some more caramel on top.

Sorry ladies! It’s been about a year and I never pulled this page up until now. They turned out delicious. I sold out of them in no time flat. I even had customers returning for more and were disappointed that I was out. . I will post the caramel frosting recipe soon. I have to dig it up. At the last few games I have been ask if I will be making some again this season. Duh of course!

Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Stir in sugar and remaining ingredients. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 25-30 minutes or until a candy thermometer registers 234 degrees (soft boil stage) Remove from heat. Beat at high speed for 5-7 minutes or until frosting thickens and begins to lose its gloss.

Here we go.;
The caramel recipe (you’ll need to add to the frosting)
1/4c of heavy whipping cream
1/4c of butter
1/2c brown sugar,packed

I made these this afternoon with my kids VERY easy to make super tasty! Only thing was the caramel really sticks to the paper on the cupcakes and makes it very hard to get off i think next time i will remove the paper before topping with the caramel!

What you can do is remove the wrapper, put them in a small clear 9oz plastic cup, then pour the caramel over so the even if it over flows it’s all good. Instead of a wooden stick you can add a plastic spoon. The can be nuked prior to serving so that the caramel is soft.

My wife made these yesterday. They were super delicious!! The only thing I didn’t like was that the caramel becomes hard and is hard to bite through. I would prefer the topping to be more creamy. The cake though was super moist and absolutely delicious!

I totally agree! We ate them when the caramel was still soft. Once it hardened it made it hard to eat. We put them in the microwave to help soften it up. But I think these would be good with a creamy caramel frosting too!

Easy fix for the “too hard to eat” caramel.. I used caramel dipping sauce which is already in the delicious, creamy state (although I did still add a little cream) and stays that way. No microwaving. No broken teeth. Just a delish fall treat!

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few
of the images aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.
